Sowing Seeds Recklessly

Last week in worship we focused on the phrase “good soil” from one of Jesus’ parables. This week we look again at the same parable, focusing now on the sower. What do we learn from a sower who wastes seeds on places unlikely to create growth and life? On sidewalks, among rocks, in between thorns…this sower doesn’t seem to mind that some seeds might not sprout. Is the sower meant to symbolize God, the disciples, us, or all of the above?
